If patient continues to feel unwell, seek medical attention. Skin Product is dermtologically tested and intended for skin use. For industrial use of the liquid, remove contaminated clothing and wash affected area with soap and water. If irritation occurs, seek medical attention. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse. Eye For industrial use of the liquid, in case of contact with eyes, irrigate with water, occasionally lifting eyelids. If irritation occurs and persists seek prompt medical attention. Ingestion For industrial use of the liquid, if swallowed, wash out mouth thoroughly and give water to drink. Seek medical attention if significant amounts (e.g. more than a teaspoon full) are ingested, or for any symptoms occurring after ingestions. Do not induce vomiting unless instructed by medical personnel. 4.2 Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed May cause eye irritation. 4.3 Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed Treat symptoms as they occur SECTION 5: Firefighting measures 5.1 Extinguishing media Water spray, carbon dioxide, dry chemical and foam are compatible with the product. Remove containers from fire or cool them with water 5.2 Special hazards arising from the substance of mixture Page 2 of 8

3 The product is water based, therefore not flammable or explosive. When heated sufficiently, product may decompose to form smoke and toxic fumes, gases or vapours. 5.3 Advice for fire fighters Fire fighters should wear an approved self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. SECTION 6: Accidental release measures 6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures For industrial spills of the liquid, ensure full personal protection is worn. 6.2 Environmental precautions Prevent leakage of product into water courses or drainage system by diking with sand or other absorbent material. Contact authorities, water company and waste water treatment plant as appropriate if significant contamination occurs. 6.3 Methods and material for containment and cleaning up Stop the source of leak or release. Clean up spill as soon as possible. Small spills can be mopped up with dry cloth. Collect larger spill using techniques such as sorbent materials or pumping. Place material in suitable container for disposal in accordance with local and national regulations. Wash contaminated surfaces with water, and collect washings for safe disposal. Follow prescribed procedures for responding to large spills and reporting to appropriate authorities. 6.4 Reference to other sections For recommended personal protective equipment see Section 8. For disposal considerations see Section 13. SECTION 7: Handling and storage 7.1 Precautions for safe handling For industrial use of the liquid, avoid contact with skin and eyes. Wear protective clothing as in Section 8. Good general ventilation is recommended. 7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight.
